Join the initiative to bring Google Fiber to Newburyport!

BACKGROUND: Google wants to build an ultra-high speed broadband network ina handful of communities across the United States -- and Newburyport, Massachusetts hopes to be one of them.

Every
household in the city with an internet connection is either served by
cable modems from Comcast, or DSL from Verizon or DirecTV. Google aims
to compete with all of them, offering only internet access and at a
speed up to 100 times faster. There are many ideas what we can do with a faster speed, but because nobody has experienced such a fast connection, the best ideas have yet to be realized!

Please
join Mayor Donna Holaday, the Newburyport City Council, the Newburyport
School Department, the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce &
Industry, Anna Jaques Hospital, PortMedia, and other individuals and
organizations who have endorsed this initiative.

While few program details
are known to us now, it is presumed the city would pay $0 and the only
cost would be your optional monthly access fee.Individuals, business employees, and community groups are asked to nominate
the city; and information how to do that is provided below, with
supporting information linked to the left. The deadline for all
submissions is March 26 at 8PM local time!Please follow the below steps to nominate Newburyport:
